Features: Only Useful if You Have Beefy Arms! [Posted on 2007-08-24]
I was excited about purchasing the Tempo Armband for the Zune as I am a newbie runner and, with a 5 star review, this seemed to be a great choice for me.
Unfortunately, I was unable to wear the armband because the velcro hooks did not line up with the velcro loops for my arms. The velcro hooks needed to go past the loops where, of course, the Zune is. I tried using a safety pin and various creative folds of the armband but to no avail (i.e. I couldn't make it comfortable as there was too much excess fabric).
I am a 5'3" and 135lb woman. In other words, I am a healthy body weight but definitely leaning towards the 'could possibly benefit from a losing a few lbs' rather than the 'super skinny waif - what do you expect?!' end of the spectrum.
As many runners are women and in far better shape than I am, I simply cannot imagine why they designed this armband to only fit beefy arms! I was forced to return the product and was very disappointed.
Good Product [Posted on 2008-02-10]
Good product. Worked as expected. The wire wrap is nice not only for keeping it stored in the armband, but while running. Also with the way the strap connects to the whole height of the arm band, you don't get any wobbling like you do with the armbands that just have the strap connecting to the middle. The product only has one very slight inconvenience for me. When running, it starts slipping down my arm so I do end up pulling it up occasionally, but I definitely recommend this product.
Best armband for zunes, namely 1st gen [Posted on 2008-02-22]
The Tempo is a very good quality armband that is probably one of the best for those of us who own the 1st generation zunes. The armband is all one piece, so where as most armbands have just a strap that allow the zune to bounce around, the Tempo keeps it snug around your arm. My only gripes with it are that it has the tendency to slide downward while you are running, and cutouts for easier access to the buttons through the plastic screen cover would have been nice. Still, these are very minor inconviences for a very quality product.

Used it for 30+ days and still works great. Use it working out and only slips a little bit. I recommend this one.

This is a good product, and works like it should. I use this while running and it works great. I also like the feature of the headphone cord holder. You can wind up your excess cord around the orange piece and slide it through the clamp which keeps it in place.
